He is alive. He is, because he's not a walker.

You know yourself.

There is no other phrase that could have landed for him.

He leans against K, just enough his shoulder is against K's chest. His weight is barely there at all; it would hurt to lean too far but he's also not in a place where he can be both mentally sore and physically needy. So this: this is all he can do.

"So am I." It's becoming the norm for him to come to K and to end up feeling better about something, even if he hadn't started out feeling badly in the first place. Which makes him wonder if K gets anything close to it in return.

He squeezes K's shoulder and stands, to get the blankets and the pillows, and to take a moment to give K another assessing look. There's nothing wrong with him physically that he could find, but no one would look at K and say he looked like he's feeling all right.

"I'm the reason you're going to be sleeping on the floor looking like you caught the plague," he frowns. He resists the urge to check him for fever again and instead adds the pillow Jesus was probably meant to be using. Let K have it, let him be extra comfortable. "Don't thank me. I feel bad enough already."

"You sleep on the floor. But I get to take care of everything else." He lays down gingerly, with his head propped up on one hand so he can watch over K as he settles in.

K can't have any idea what those little gestures mean in the context of Jesus's world. He tries to take them in this context, so they have the meanings K intends. But he also hopes that he himself never takes for granted what it can mean when someone offers their roof, their bed, their clothing. He doesn't want to become so used to this world that those things don't still stir things up in him.

"You just have to rest." And eat. "I'll just be here."

Keeping watch, dozing, listening. He doesn't want to leave until K has recovered from whatever this is.

"I'll try." He is tired. He's aware of how much sleep he needs, too, to recover from a weeklong mission.

And he does try. He gets four hours, and he wakes peacefully from a dream where he and K are sitting and watching a blank television. K is dead, most of the skin peeling off his face, exposing his molars, tearing at the corners of his lips when he speaks.

It means when he wakes he spends a very long time just studying K, watching him breathing.

He doesn't watch K the whole time. He tries to sleep again and can't, so he listens to the city instead, identifying sounds he knew in the old world and imagining what it will be like to live here. (How long?)

He instinctively sits up when K stirs, used to having to block a bleary, panicked blow when people wake that hard.

"No, I'm okay." He settles his back against the wall. He hasn't been asleep in hours, so his voice is soft, clear. "How do you feel?"

"Hard to say. You've had four or five hours since I woke up." A solid eight or nine, maybe, all told. "You don't look as bad. I'm not tempted to call a doctor."

He wasn't expecting K to have any reaction to the fact of him actually getting rest. The relief in K's voice makes him grin, self-conscious at the unexpected affection it implies.

"I'm all right. Better than when I got here." Not ready, just yet, to leave. "You probably don't feel up to going out tonight, do you, yet?"

Date: 2022-08-10 10:18 pm (UTC)
hippie_ninja: (listen)
From: [personal profile] hippie_ninja
"Nothing special. I just thought we could go to a magic show or find some music." Is he asking K on a date?

He didn't come here planning to do this, but there it is.

"My friend thinks it was the locals. I haven't seen any walkers in a few days... If they're gone, the blade runner probably is, too." But he's willing to stay in, too, if K feels safer that way.

"I met someone in prison who runs a club for creative types. Poetry, singing, it's a little more laid back than where we work."

"I really like poetry," he admits with a little grin, a tiny shrug. "I like the quieter places, it's just not everyone's go-to."

Meaning yes, he would really, really like to take K there.
